Beyond The Gates Recap: Andre Tries to Explain Himself to Dani originally appeared on Daytime Confidential.
On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Naomi arrives with a gift for her gran. She opens it and sees a framed one sheet from an Articulettes concert. She thanks her granddaughter for the very fond memory. Anita gets in her feels and leaves the room.
Anita returns and says looking back has its hazards and notes getting the group back together isn't going to happen. Naomi wants to shift her meeting with Bill to the next day and head off to the club. Anita says she didn't know who she was back in the day. She promises not to wallow for long but needs to sit in this sadness for a minute. They agree to talk later and Naomi exits.
Anita looks in a cabinet and pulls out a letter from a hidden drawer. She sits in her bay window and begins to read. (Closed Captioning tells us the narrator of the letter is Barbara) – Barbara tells Anita to take a bow as the group she started moved forward in a way they never imagined, without her. She reminds Anita how the FOUR OF THEM use to stay up late in that little room at Cabrini-Green. They used to talk about how their careers were going to flourish even thought their families thought they were crazy. Barbara loved Anita and in return she took her group, her pride and her dignity. Barbara wonders whether Anita had it in her to feel anything at all.
Barbara explains that Dante Green was supposed to be their ticket to the big time. He was supposed to manage them but she was the problem.
Bill's Law Office: Bill asks Tomas about the last HR committee meeting. Tomas says he didn't type up notes to keep from having a paper trail. He says they might think about smaller, less intrusive changes and Bill approves. Tomas says the goal is to facilitate a healthier work space. Bill approves but stops Tomas before he exits. He says he needs Tomas to keep an eye of his family. He thinks Bill is asking simply about Chelsea and Naomi but he tells Tomas to keep his eyes open for whatever he might see. Bill discusses Ted's issues with Leslie and make mention that keeping his eyes on Kat and Naomi might also be a good thing. Tomas pushes back but Bill says it's a light ask and simply needs him to help a father out.
Tomas can't imagine how Kat will respond when he begins to ask questions. Just then, Bill gets a call saying Kat has arrived. She walks in and Bill says Tomas can have some time away to enjoy a meal.
Dani's Home: Dani is on the phone when Hayley walks in and pulls out her positive pregnancy test. Dani thinks her move wreaks of desperation. She thinks Hayley is going to play a Lifetime movie and buy a prosthetic belly. Hayley says she just wants to enjoy her pregnancy without all Dani's chaos. Dani tells her to cut the crap and take a test in front of her. Hayley is unwilling to play Dani's game but she doubles down on her desire to know for a fact about her alleged pregnancy. With that, Dani tells Hayley to leave.
Garfield Memorial Hospital: Andre walks in to find Ashley at the nurses station after her overnight shift. He asks about her relationship and Ashley indicates that Derek didn't actually move back in. Just then, the fireman walks in ready to take his girlfriend to breakfast. Derek explains he moved back into his old place, and all is right in their relationship world. Andre hopes he didn't overstep and explains he gave Ashely a bit of advice. Derek wonders why she didn't tell them about their encounter. Ashley scrambles a bit and Andre says he understands how couples find their own way. With that, he exits… but looks back before texting Dani, who says she's home waiting for him.
Orphey Gene's: Leslie approaches Kat's table and takes a seat. She says the court has yet to comply with her restraining order because the Dupree family controls everything. Leslie says if she doesn't back off she will sue her for defamation of character. Kat explains Jacob is simply exploring the facts of a case but Leslie thinks the reason he hasn't found anything is because she is innocent. Kat tries to play with Leslie about being in her father's hotel room. Leslie says she was wearing the fit that night that she had on when they first met. Kat says her dad was only trying to get away from her as he is too smart to get pulled back into her web. Leslie tells little KitKat she has been underestimated her entire life which is why folks don't know she's around until she is right there.
Bill's Law Office: Hayley arrives and gives Bill a little insight into her encounter with Dani. She pulls out the pregnancy test but Bill says he believes her as she has that glow. Just then, Naomi arrives and Bill informs her about their pregnancy. Naomi goes on an on saying it's clear Hayley has made certain to implant her insurance policy in her belly. Hayley thinks their child could bring them all together. Naomi says a child was something they all wanted when they were kids, not now. Naomi goes on and on when Bill begins to stutter and pass out.
Orphey Gene's: Ashley and Derek arrive and discuss running into Andre. He thinks it's cool that Andre helped her out. Ashley wonders if he and Andre are now bros. Derek thinks they should ask Andre to hang the next time they're with Jacob and Naomi. Just then, Leslie arrives and asks Ashley about Jan. Ashley says she isn't talking to Leslie nor is her mama all because of the fraud she perpetrated. Leslie tells Ashley she has everything wrong and simply wants to know how Laura is doing. Ashley says she would never break confidentiality to allow Leslie private information about Laura's case. Leslie thinks it's a shame how the Dupree's dictate a narrative. Ashley says, just in case, the hospital has changes all its protocols (really?). Derek promises Ashley isn't spreading gossip about her. Leslie says she is worried about being entrapped as she doesn't know what Kat Richardson is trying to do. Leslie goes on when Derek stands up and tells her to slow her roll (Of course it's Leslie who makes Derek and Ashley interesting and relevant).
Leslie pretends to be taken by Derek standing up for his woman. She moves along saying she thought she had that once, but it was never her (Leslie manipulating Derek could be fun). Ashley says if Leslie turns herself in, they might go easy on her. Leslie ignores Ashley (giggle) and says if she needs more info she knows where to find her.
Fairmont Country Club: Tomas and Kat take a seat. She tells him about Leslie's threat to sue, and he says it won't stick. She can't claim defamation if what she says was the truth. Tomas is surprised she came to him as she has Naomi to consult. Kat says she didn't want to put her cousin in a particular situation seeing that Jacob is moving so slowly. Tomas explains there are all kinds of reasons why charges haven't been filed. Kat says she listens to all kinds of podcasts and knows she has provided Jacob with enough evidence to lock Leslie up. Tomas totally agrees… with Jacob. Kat inquires and Tomas tries to explain how actual means, motive and opportunity works. Kat gets frustrated but Tomas drives it home that this is how things work in the court system. Kat asks Tomas to not tell Bill anything they've discussed. He doesn't respond and says they should step back and let Jacob finish the investigation. Kat says she needs to find a way to stop Leslie and Eva.
Dani's Place: Andre arrives to find Dani a little hot about turning her down the last time. She admits what happened with Hayley is likely coloring their interaction. She thinks a fake pregnancy is going to get his attention. To illustrate her point, Dani talks about all the nice things Bill did when she was pregnant. Andre understands immediately that Dani doesn't want to share those memories and quickly makes his way to leave. He thinks she should spend more time paying attention to the man in front of her who actually gives a damn.
Andre takes a seat and says he never saw her coming – being over her, under her, TASTING HER (YASSSS!) and hearing her. Every time he's with Dani it's new. Dani questions him ghosting her for days. Andre gets it saying his trip home was supposed to be brief but he's been enticed to stick around. He's changing into a guy who is ready to move on from no-strings. Dani questions his recent actions and Andre is at a complete loss. They go back and forth before Dani rightfully says that Andre has another woman on a string. Andre pushes her questions away leading Dani to say she isn't ready for a full-on, in public relationship. She thinks they are a sad pair as friends with benefits whose hearts are partially taken by others who don't want them. Andre says she is important to him, and he thinks he is good for her. With that, they kiss and hit the couch.

Endings
Naomi and Hayley go to Bill, and he stutters over the word, 'humiliate.' Hayley tries to get him to drink water, but he's done with their attention. They both talk about his hand going to sleep but then he starts stammering again.
Anita continues to read Barbara's letter as she notes Dante said her voice was 'too ghetto' and there was no fixing it. Dante fired her and when she came to Anita, she was cold and distant. As Barbara narrates Anita's cruel words, she says them out loud as she seems to remember them from memory or at least from having read the letter 50-11 times. As she finishes reciting the letter, we learn that if Anita is reading her words Barbara is already dead. With that, Anita breaks down into hysterical tears.

WWII Vet Grows Food for Hungry Kids—And Still Helps at Age 96!
Can you help these kids? They have nothing to eat!' a social worker told WWII veteran William 'Bill' Brown. He and his wife, Verna, had been fostering children in their Bronson, Florida, town for many years and knew the struggles they faced. Nobody should go hungry! Bill thought, his heart moved. I'll do anything to help them. He had a lifelong passion for gardening that was instilled in him by his mother during the Great Depression, Bill and Verna had bought a property with 20 acres to grow crops like beans, peppers and corn. Thinking back on the life lessons his mother had taught him, Bill remembered sharing okra, peas, beans, onions and collard greens from the Mississippi farm where he grew up with all of his neighbors. Planting and picking the crops with the family was a favorite pastime, and Bill knew just what he could do to help. 'We can feed kids with food from our huge garden!' Bill decided, telling Verna his plans. Week after week, the couple fed more and more families in need with fresh vegetables they grew themselves. 'This is really something,' Bill smiled, realizing the impact they were making. 'What if we make it an official food bank? We can call it The Children's Table!' Bill and Verna decided to grow peas, potatoes, squash, mustard greens, collard greens, onions, garlic and cucumbers. 'And we'll never ask customers any questions or require proof of income. The Children's Table is for everyone.' In the early 1990s, the Browns launched their food bank, which serves many food deserts in rural areas around Levy County, Florida, and surrounding counties with more than 1.5 million meals each year. In Florida's warm climate, they can harvest vegetables year-round, and they usually plant seeds that take about 90 days to mature. People who come to The Children's Table for food assistance receive both fresh produce from the garden and regular shelf-stable foods common at food pantries, such as canned goods, pasta, cereal and oatmeal. The organization now uses its own volunteer-run, 5-acre garden to grow all the vegetables. While Mr. Bill has retired from the grueling gardening labor, he is still active as president of The Children's Table and is beloved by the community. He even visits the operations manager, Stacey Kile, in her office each day, asking, 'What's going on today?' The main telephone for The Children's Table is connected to his hearing aid, and even now, at age 96, Mr. Bill is willing to respond to hunger calls in the early morning hours to deliver food to families in need—anytime, anywhere. I wonder if there's a way to do even more, the kindhearted Mr. Bill thought one day as he dreamed of making an even bigger impact in his community. Before long, The Children's Table launched its Helping Hand program to provide a $500 check for people in the area who are facing hardships—like a house fire, a sick child or unexpected expenses. Over the past three decades, Mr. Bill has occasionally had the privilege of serving more than one generation of a family. Many years ago, he brought food to a father who couldn't work due to an injury. Then, years later, a young man came to The Children's Table with a donation and said, 'You don't know me, but when I was a young boy, you came to our house with food!' 'There is nobody anywhere else I know who would do what he has done,' Stacey says of Mr. Bill. 'He has touched thousands of lives. There are certain places you can't go and mention his name without people saying, 'Oh, I know Bill Brown!'' 'These people come and we love them, and they know we love them,' Bill's wife, Verna, says. 'When we meet someone and they recognize us and thank us, you can just feel their sincerity.' As for what drives Mr. Bill to help meet so many needs year after year: 'I just wanted to help someone who needs help,' he says, his heart continuing to fill with gratitude for the chance to serve and meet a need. 'We're not always able to take care of the whole situation, but we are at least always there to let them know that we care.' Keep scrolling for more!

Chrisley family returns to reality TV with new show but experts warn of comeback risks
Now that Todd and Julie Chrisley have received a full pardon from President Donald Trump, the couple's journey post-prison is set to be captured in a docuseries – and experts are weighing in on whether it is the right move for the reality TV stars. The Lifetime network previously greenlit "The Untitled Chrisleys Project" on the family prior to Todd and Julie's release from prison. The project, which is set to premiere later this year, showcases how Savannah Chrisley, Chase Chrisley, Grayson Chrisley, Chloe Chrisley and Nanny Faye Chrisley navigated the family hardship while Todd and Julie were behind bars for bank fraud and tax evasion. The reality couple were not initially expected to be included in the show since they were in prison. However, Savannah confirmed last week that fans can expect to see everything unfold on camera while she was waiting for her father outside the Pensacola, Florida, federal prison. Savannah also shared on her podcast Tuesday that production has "started back up now that mom and dad are home" and that they are ecstatic to be making their "new start at life." Todd And Julie Chrisley Return To Reality Tv After Trump Pardon Frees Them From Prison As Todd and Julie – who were found guilty in June 2022 of not only bank fraud and tax evasion but also conspiring to defraud the IRS, and sentenced to 12 and seven years, respectively – were deep in scandal, experts cautioned that "redemption is a grind" when it comes to the reality family regaining their popularity and the public's trust. Read On The Fox News App "Redemption is a grind, not a headline. If you want the crown back, start by crawling --because no celebrity gets to skip the hard part," Reputation Management Consultants CEO Eric Schiffer told Fox News Digital. "You can't Netflix your way out of disgrace. Substance beats spectacle. A strong comeback is built on humility, not headlines. Redemption doesn't come from a camera crew but the grind when nobody's looking." He added, "Don't try to outshine your scandal -- outwork it." Trump Announces Pardon For Todd And Julie Chrisley After Reality Tv Stars' Fraud, Tax Evasion Convictions The couple were convicted of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans as well as tax evasion. Their sentences were later reduced. As another expert pointed out, in many ways, a celebrity's "comeback is framed by the substance of the underlying charges and conviction." "A lot of fans balked at the substantive allegations surrounding the Chrisley's convictions, while an even larger swath of American parents related to--at least, in part--Lori Loughlin's actions on behalf of her child," Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, shared with Fox News Digital. In 2019, the "Full House" star was arrested for her involvement in the college admissions scandal in 2019. One year later, Loughlin served two months in prison, completed 150 hours of community service and paid a $150,000 fine after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges stemming from making payments to William "Rick" Singer, the mastermind of the scam, to get her daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, into the University of Southern California. "In cases like the Chrisley's, Loughlin, or Martha Stewart, a 'relatable conviction' doesn't absolve them from wrongdoing or somehow make it right," Eldridge told Fox News Digital. Trump Pardons Todd, Julie Chrisley: What To Know About Reality Tv Stars "In each of these cases, there was a lingering sense of relatability in terms of the actions, charges, and conviction and that's incredibly important when discussing a post-conviction comeback. How they feel about you going in, will dramatically impact how they feel about you coming out." In 2004, Stewart served time at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia after being found guilty on charges related to insider trading. "It's hard to overstate the importance of relatability and its causal connection to likability and eventually, marketability," Eldridge stated. "For a case study in relatability, look no further than Meghan Markle: this is the one aspect that has eluded the 'Duchess' over the last seven years and its absence has effectively served as the prevailing winds that drove her ship into the rocks, every time she has tried to push a new venture out of port. If they can't relate to you, they'll never like you and they certainly won't invest in you," Eldridge noted. Since Markle and Prince Harry's royal exit in 2020, the Duchess of Sussex launched her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, in April. She additionally launched a lifestyle Netflix show in March titled, "With Love, Meghan." Meanwhile, a Hollywood actor who appeared to have played his cards right is Tim Allen, according to experts. "Tim Allen didn't hide from his past; he joked about it and moved forward -- authenticity wins," Schiffer remarked. The "Home Improvement" star was arrested in 1978 at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport in Michigan while carrying over a pound of cocaine. He later pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and, at 23, spent two years and four months in federal prison. Although he was not expecting such a long sentence, Allen said on a podcast that he "wanted to be able to come out with something." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News "I just shut up and did what I was told," he recalled. "It was the first time ever I did what I was told and played the game... I learned literally how to live day by day. And I learned how to shut up. You definitely want to learn how to shut up." In a press release about the Chrisleys' docuseries, it stated that "[i]n the new series, the Chrisleys don't know best anymore, but they're doing their best to be there for each other." Todd and Julie's children, along with other family members, faced the challenges of "carrying on the Chrisley name and legacy on their own with only phone calls and brief visits with their incarcerated parents," the release, obtained by Fox News Digital last month, added. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter Despite their decision to televise their post-prison release, expert Schiffer advised that, "Redemption is earned in silence, not syndication." Meanwhile, based on past celebrity cases, Eldridge noted that a comeback for the Chrisleys will be based on "the formula" that "will always be the same: relatability determines likability, which drives marketability."Original article source: Chrisley family returns to reality TV with new show but experts warn of comeback risks
